VETERAN TEACHER JACKSON SCHOOL TO LAST REWARD

Mrs. Mildred Henderson, Medford teacher on leave of absence to visit her
daughter in Washington, D. C., died yesterday in that city according to a
wire received this morning by a neighbor, Mrs. W. H. Bailey. The wire
states that funeral services would be held at Hysong's funeral home in
Washington on Monday, Jan. 17, at 11 a.m.

Mrs. Henderson had been in failing health for several months and with her
husband, Ray Henderson, had gone to the capital for an indefinite visit
with their daughter, Mrs. [illegible] G. Mead. Mrs. Henderson had been
primary teacher at the Jackson school for many years and has a large circle
of friends who will be saddened at her death. Mr. Henderson is on leave of
absence from the junior high school faculty here. The family home is at 747
West Jackson Blvd.

The deceased has a sister residing in Grant's Pass and another sister and
two brothers living in Klamath Falls. 

Friends in Medford received word early in December of the birth of the
Meads' first child, a daughter.
